The Family Day

So after work today, I came back home. Showered, washed my hair, blew it dry, got all the stuffs ready in dad's car such as the robe, hat, scroll, my violin, etc. Drove up to Fotorex at Jaya One, PJ.

A woman did my makeup for me. Because the thickness of my eyelids are uneven, she stuck some sorta tape on it. I never knew it could work like that! Hrm Imma try it next time since the uneven-ess of my eyelids are quite irritating sometimes.

The service was quite professional. The photographer professionally arranged our positions and directed our poses. I took one with my violin and he showed me from his camera. It looked really nice! I hope the others will turn out good too.

The only sad thing is that my other sister is not around to take the pictures with us. She's in uni in Sabah right now, or probably enjoying her Sunday with her boyfriend who's there studying at the same uni as her. The last time I talked to her, I said,

"Haha, you can't take graduation pics with us!"

And she replied,

"Fck la"

LOL! I guess it runs in our blood. Or probably just us siblings influencing each other. It probably started with me mastering the art of swearing when I was in high school. Then the younger ones began to learn haha! There's not a single day where we siblings will talk to each other without even swearing. Not meaning it of course, just for the fun of it.

Anyway!

After the shoot we went to The Curve and had dinner at TGIF. Good stuff, good stuff. Meal was hearty but I was hoping to eat a little bit more haha! Ok better not, when I think of this msg from Esther,

"Shit Shit Shit. Monday got go jogging or not? I damn fat ady. Put on 2 kgs. 2KGS! FML" "It happened over the weekend T__T"

LOLOLOL!!!

Camwhored a little before removing the make up and the clothes. I quite like this 'Office Lady' look.

I decided to wear a skirt instead of the black pants I wore during my convocation cos the black pants is seriously too long that it's sweeping the floor. And I don't have higher heels to go with it anyway.

During convocation I wore this lilac Vincci peep toe sling backs and god I swear I'll never touch those heels again! They gave me blisters and I was walking with it the whole day (at some point, had to run cos we were late) during convocation and my blisters broke and the friction made the wound worse!

Its seriously really, really bad. I'll take a picture if I remember to and post it here one day. Stupid stupid shoes. I'm not gonna touch them again. Everrrr. Ok that means, I need a new pair. HAHAHA!

Lastly before I hit the sack,

On that day few hours before convocation, I drove around SS2 and dropped by Kimarie for a trim and a wash. I love how salons can blow dry my hair all straight and neat. And the way they wash, my hair can stay not getting oily for up to 4-5 days! Usually it gets oily by day 2 or 3 if I don't wash my hair. When your hair's as long as mine, you'll understand why I dread washing it.

Anyway, it was so cheap! The senior stylist's price was only RM 25! Usually when I get a trim and wash it cost my RM30++ even in Klang! And it's not to say those salons are very well known. I'm not saying Kimarie's well known but at least, they have a website and they have branches so I supposed it's a quite established name already.

The trim was quite nice. She didn't cut much which I absolutely like because I hate stylists who don't listen to customers. And she also fixed my fringe which I previously snipped myself (ok, secret told) and it looks a lot better now. The whole cut+wash took less than an hour which was really good cos I was actually rushing.

I asked them for their hair colouring price and omg so much cheaper than what I paid! I'll definitely go there for my next hair job ;)



Ok good night!

Graduation - The Flowers

I've been awake since 6.30am and was randomly surfing the net while uploading pictures. I hate how I can't sleep much when something exciting's coming up. I'll be heading to the photo studio to take some graduation pictures with my family. And I don't understand why I feel so kan cheong with it also. Yesterday while chatting with Wk,

" Your life so nice hor? Don't need to do anything now. "
" ... where got! "
" Yala. You have nothing to worry about but how to wear your mortar board so that you'll look good in the pictures. "
" Wtf. Eat shit la you. "

He's got a point anyway. Wtf. -_-

Gahhhhh I can't decide how to wear my mortar board hat to look ok in the pictures! The last time I let all my fringe down I didn't look like a graduate at all lor! But if I put all my fringe up it looks quite ugly! I know that's how everyone wears it but I've seen people who wear it nicely! I shouldn't have trimmed my fringe laaaaa.

Bought this from G2000 on the night before my convocation. I thought it's compulsary to wear a collared shirt (which I don't have, I just realised) but actually it's not. Didn't regret getting it anyway, since I don't have one.

A gift from Chooi Yin during convocation! So thoughtful and I didn't even get anyone anything! I feel like a useless friend now... T_T

#165

The lilies my friends got me.

Yesterday I realise that the flowers are slowly turning brown! T_T That's the bad thing about real flowers given as a gift. You can't really keep them except in pictures. So I decided to quickly take pictures of them.

The bouquet of white lilies Esther, Wai Tuck and Sim Mei got me. So pretteeeeee!

This was it on that day before they met me.

Half bloomed.

Now all nicely bloomed.




This was given by mom and dad.

On that day I was telling Cat that my parents surely will not buy me any flowers. Few days before convocation when I asked my parents to attend, my mom said, "Need to buy flowers ah? Go pinjam from people only lah" haha! Yes, my parents are like that. They don't bouther much about things. She even told me, "Huh? Must go the ceremony ah? Sure very boring one." LOL!

True enough! They did not get me flowers before going! This bouquet was bought at the very last minute from the many booths set up in uni after the ceremony. I know because when I met my mom and Esther and the rest, my dad was not there. And when he came back, he threw a bouquet of flowers to me saying "Nah" wtf. HAHAHA. I know it's not bought from florists also because it's not a very nice bouquet.

There's a rotten rose in it! My sister's finger's pointing at it.


Looks more like a valentine's gift than graduation haha.

It may not be a nice bouquet BUT! it's the thought that counts and so, I love it as much =)

Daisies given by my juniors. And no, it's that I'm really likeable in uni or anything, all my coursemates got one. Every senior who graduates will get one from the juniors.

And I thought they were sunflowers at first haha! I forgot sunflowers are much bigger than these.

Ok time to get ready for work.

Why nobody can answer me?!!

" OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!! "

" What? "

" YOU KNOW MELBOURNE NOW HAS LINDT'S CAFE ALREADY! "

" HAHAHAHAH! Ya I know! "

" WTF WHY YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!!! "

" AHAHAHA another reason for you to come right? :D "

" Hahah! Guess who told me! "

" Aileen lorrr... "

" How you know one! "

" Hahah only she will tell you this kind of things la "

Haha. He knows me so well. And his friends too :)

I went to the Postgraduate Fair at IDP today and GRRR SO ANGRY!!! I can't believe this! All I need is just a freakin' answer - Do I freakin' need to go through an audition for specialisation in Teaching. I emailed University of Melbourne's School of Music but they didn't reply me. I went to IDP before this. That lady obviously didn't know anything and instead kept asking me to attend the fair cos she assured me representatives will be there and they'll be able to answer me. I got all my result slips ready cos that lady said if I apply on that day the application fees of AUD100 can be waived which is totally great because AUD100 is a lot for me. So I went today, and it's fruitless AGAIN!!!

STUPID.

I wasn't exactly late, was there around 12pm and there were already people queueing up for enquiries at the many Australian universities' booths. But not all were long queues la. From what I saw, only popular ones like Monash & Melbourne were quite packed with people.

Yes. Long queue at Melbourne U's booth. So I waited for about 10 minutes before I got to spoke with one of them. Then I told her I needed to know about requirements. She took out the book which I ALREADY have. Honestly, damn irritating la if really everything's already in the book or in the website do I still need to be there? Of course I got something I don't understand only I go there and ask one lah!

Reminded me of that stupid ang moh in Melbourne U's School of Music I met when I was in Melbourne. Stupid ang moh told me to go back and check out the website after I asked her a lot of questions she couldn't answer me. STUPID. OF COS I'VE READ THE WEBSITE LA IF NOT WHY I KNOW MELBOURNE U HAS MUSIC COURSES! WHY I WENT THERE. I said I wanted to meet someone who's in the faculty because I need to clarify about things. That stupid fat ang moh (*touch wood!) just wouldn't move her fat ass to arrange for me and asked me to check the website. STUUUUPID. No wonder she had to work there. With that kinda stupid attitude she'll probably have to work at that counter for the rest of her life lah.

Ok anyway, back to the fair today. Then I told her what's my problem and in the end, she too couldn't answer me. It's seriously very confusing.

I want to take the Masters in Music Studies by Coursework in Performance/Teaching. And in their website, it says that students who intend to do the Performance specialisation need to go through an audition. Er... so what about Teaching?

I asked a lady from IDP before and at first she answered me "YES" instantly claiming that it's under the same category. But I don't understand! Why the hell must the uni mention only students under Performance specialisation needs to go through audition! It sounds as though students who wants to specialize in Teaching don't have to go through an audition! But it's not mentioned in the website!

Today I asked a girl. At first she too replied me just like the lady I met earlier at IDP, an instant "YES" but after a while, she told me she's not sure actually. And she say she'll check it out for me. Wtf. Then I asked her "So I can't apply today?" and she said no since I'm not sure of the requirements yet. WTF.

I drove all the way there and purposely brought all my certs and all thinking it'll take some time to apply and all. In the end I still CANNOT apply and STILL DON'T KNOW if I need to go through an audition.

But the good news is that, she told me eventhough I can't apply today, I can always apply through IDP another day and the application fee will still be waived. That's the first. Second is, she asked me to leave her my enquiries and that when she gets anything she'll email the info to me. Well at least, AT LEAST, somebody's responding to me now.

It's seriously so damn frustrating. I just want to know whether or not I need to do the audition that's all! Why is it so hard to just answer me? To me having an audition and not having one makes A LOT of difference! If I don't have to go through an audition, I can save a lot of my money learning violin! I can use the time to teach more and earn more money! I don't have to worry about getting an accompanist which means more money needed, and a place to record my audition tape! I don't have to worry about posting the tape and the risk of it being lost on the way!

But if I DO need to go through an audition, that's a totally different story already!

Haihhhhh why want to give Melb U money also so difficult wtf.

Graduation 2009

I have exactly only 5 minutes to blog omg!

While we were bored listening to boring speeches and waiting for our turn to go up.
L-R: Amy, me, Cat and Chooi Yin.

With Cheng Choo.

And after the ceremony, everyone went out to take more pictures. Omg super damn a lot of people and super damn hot ok! I was sweating inside out! Not literally la. My body usually don't sweat much but my head usually sweat the most. I told Esther, "the part where it's covered with hair only will sweat a lot" and she laughed hysterically. I don't understand, very funny meh? HAHA.

Haha check out Cheng Choo behind us!

With coursemates and juniors.

And then... surprise!!! No lah not really wtf. Hahaha. I was calling my dad and asked where they were and then he told me he lost mom. I was like wtf. My mom doesn't have a handphone how on earth am I going to find her in the huge crowd. Then he told me she's with Esther and I went "Huh? Esther's here?" Haha. After a while, we all met each other.

They couldn't find me at first so they called Cat! And Cat was with them when I saw them.

We were saying we should turn the scrolls around so that can see the "University Malaya" words.

Wai Tuck with his respectful camera which took quite a number of shots here.

I think I was calling my dad.
